Il maîtrise une science inégalée du déguisement et a un grand sens moral. As far as the illustrations go, Vincent Mallie’s illustrations are beautiful and fit the collection so well. Arsène Lupin, irrésistible charmeur, commet ses méfaits avec élégance, intelligence et panache, sans user de violence. My favorite story is the last one, titled “Herlock Sholmes Arrives Too Late,” because of the intriguing character of “Herlock Sholmes” and the way the mystery was wrapped up. At times I was a little confused, but it (mostly) all came right in the end. I found these short stories to be delightful and entertaining. It’s an illustrated collection of short stories. I’ve been curious about the Arsene Lupin stories for a while, and when I saw this illustrated version of Leblanc’s first nine Lupin novellas, it felt like a great opportunity to dive in! An FYI–I have seen this marketed as a comic or graphic novel, and it’s not. Thanks to NetGalley and Magnetic Press for the free digital copy (clearly I also purchased) in exchange for an honest review! This book is available now. Today’s review is on a newly illustrated collection of classic Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief stories. One week until I am back to work and I am trying not to panic! Also, this is the third post I have started in the last couple of weeks, but I am happy to say I will actually be posting this one.
